Hello,

  Well, You will always see the attempts in security logs.
  As Derek Wrote, you have to allow your IP and deny the rest.

  Also, you may set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
  a line in the bottom of the file which reads
  AllowUsers  YOUR_USER_HERE

  In this case, you will make sure your ip and the specific username(s).

I can't say if it will read your other file, I use explicit lines such as:
sshd:  192.168.1.20 : allow
sshd:  82.165.182.220 : deny
sshd: ALL: DENY

This allows ONLY access from good known IP's. You will still see the attempts in the security logs.

        -Derek

I have been running denyhosts to stop attacks on my ssh port.

The attacks continue after protection is put in place.

Here is what I have in the tail of my /etc/hosts.allow
as per the installation instructions;
-------------------------
...<snip>
sshd : /etc/hosts.deniedssh : deny
sshd : ALL : allow
-------------------------

and in /etc/hosts.deniedssh I have;

-------------------------
sshd: 82.165.182.220 : deny
sshd: 200.52.90.100 : deny
-------------------------

but I am still receiving attacks from the last IP address. So I am wondering
what program actually -reads- hosts.allow

May be it has to be reset, or restarted?
